On problems...

There are no hard problems, only problems that are hard to a certain level of intelligence.
Move the smallest bit upwards (in level of intelligence), and some problems will suddenly move
from "impossible" to "obvious." - Eliezer S. Yudowsky"Staring into the Singularity"

We have proposed a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust. We started with
the usual framework of coins made from digital signatures, which provides strong control of
ownership, but is incomplete without a way to prevent double-spending. To solve this, we
proposed a peer-to-peer network using proof-of-work to record a public history of transactions
that quickly becomes computationally impractical for an attacker to change if honest nodes
control a majority of CPU power. The network is robust in its unstructured simplicity.
